Bridging the Gender Pay Gap: The Story of TechSalaries

The Genesis of TechSalaries

Two years ago, the seeds of change were planted by a simple yet powerful initiative: a Google sheet documenting the salaries of female employees. This was more than just a spreadsheet; it was a statement against the persistent gender pay discrepancies in the tech sector. Recognizing the need for a more robust solution, TechSalaries (techsalaries.com.au) was born.

TechSalaries emerged as a beacon of hope, aiming to create a transparent ecosystem where recruitment owners and businesses could unite to make a difference, one salary at a time. The platform’s mission is clear: to provide real-time salary data and insights across Australia, thereby empowering individuals and promoting workplace equality.

  • Contribute: A collaborative space where recruitment companies can promote transparency and cooperation.
